Beating AI News Insight: AI hardware company Flowtica has completed a new round of financing worth tens of millions of yuan, led by Signalfire Capital, with existing investors including Source Code Capital, 5Y Capital and Clearwater Fund participating. Meanwhile, the AI e-ink screen Verso unveiled by the company at this year’s September IFA exhibition has opened for pre-orders with deposits, and the first batch of products is scheduled to be delivered in early December. Verso is a 6.5mm thick magnetic e-ink screen that can be attached to the back of a smartphone. According to official introduction, users can press a button to start recording during meetings, with real-time transcription and key point extraction—before the meeting ends, to-do items will be displayed on the screen. Users can also press a button to mark important speeches or directly ask the AI, such as retrieving past discussions with clients or generating post-meeting follow-up email drafts. Unlike AI recording cards like PLAUD Note Pro, Verso’s core difference lies not only in recording summaries, but in placing meeting minutes, schedules and to-dos directly on the hardware screen, eliminating the need to repeatedly open a mobile app. It also pulls up past communication records before meetings to remind users of unresolved matters. However, Flowtica has abandoned the always-on listening design; users must manually start recording, and the recording indicator light cannot be turned off. The pre-order price of Verso in the US is $199, with a regular price of $299. Pre-orders require a $10 deposit, and the final payment is due from November 17. The device comes with a 3-month unlimited AI subscription, and ongoing access to unlimited services requires additional payment.

Reuters’ latest survey indicates that market expectations for the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate outlook are undergoing a notable shift. Expectations of an October rate hike have cooled, but a consensus among surveyed economists now holds that another rate hike in December is likely, as strong economic growth and persistent inflation pressures are reshaping monetary policy expectations. The survey, conducted between October 16 and 20, polled 94 economists who projected the Fed will keep the federal funds rate in the 3.75% to 4.00% range at its October 27-28 meeting. This outlook aligns with market pricing, and the meeting falls just days ahead of the U.S. November midterm elections. In contrast, expectations for December rates have seen a sharp turnaround: last month’s survey found fewer than half of economists anticipated a December rate hike, while this time, all 100 respondents forecast another hike by then.

Former Bank of Japan Executive Director Eiji Maeda: I expect the next interest rate hike will take place in December, with another one to follow in March or April. The current pace of rate hikes has accelerated to roughly once every three months, which I deem appropriate. (Jinshi)
